I have a SB AWE-32 PNP (does someone know: how I get my bios to set up pnp properly? I have a PNP Bios, I think, but I need isapnptools. Why? I didn't changed anything in my bios setup.) > that the pnp boards need to be configured before the sound drivers > mandates that sound must be supported by a module, i.e. not included > directly in the kernel. for this reason, /etc/init.d/boot makes sure > that pnp configuration is taken care of _before_ modules are loaded.

I have sound in my modules, and it works just fine. I compared my /dev/sndstat with yours, and they are nearly identical (i have a wrong SB MPU-401 line, without an address specified and with irq 1. I have to check this with the next kernel compile.) BTW: How do you get this: > Midi devices: > 0: Sound Blaster 16 I have it not. However, one thing I saw: I use kernel 2.0.29, you 2.0.30.

At the moment, I'm puzzled.
